Finally, we got to go to camp! First we got settled in our cosy cabins. I was with Elys, Amily and Ji-woo. The thing that I loved doing on my first day was the Amazing Race. We were in our cabin groups. We had to do a challenge and when we got a challenge correct we got a clue to find our next challenge and to get a clue on what some of the letters are from the code we had to crack. My favourite challenge was the sponges. I liked it because I got to squeeze the sponges into a bucket. The first team that gets the bucket full will receive the clue first. The challenge that I found quite hard for my friend Amily was the pea game. Someone had to suck up a pea with a straw, go around a cone come back then put the pea in another bowl. I had so much FUN!

Dear Diary,
My teeth still feel sticky and my feet still hurt. The reason why my teeth felt sticky was because of the activity we did today. The activity was... FEAR FACTOR! I had to roll a dice and see what number showed. My number was three. I then had to eat three dry Weetbix! I had to do it against Wade. He only had to eat two. In the end however I bet him, BUT there was still weetbix stuck between my teeth. Also the reason why my legs still hurt was because in the morning we had fitness. I was so tired that I felt light headed.I had to go for a walk. Anyway, I had fun... apart from those two activities.

Dear Diary,
I feel great! Today at fitness I used a new technique on running without feeling sick. So when Mr Johnson told us to run from one end of the field to the other I just took long deep breaths when I was running then I did not feel bad. Also today I accomplished my fear of heights when I was on the confidence course. I had enjoyed myself today!

Dear Diary,
Today as usual we had to get ready for fitness early. Mr Johnson went easy on us because we had a 4 hour hike ahead of us. So after a very short fitness lesson it was time to get ready for the hike. The hike took forever! When we got back the whole camping group was really tired. Later on at night we had our Burma Trail IN THE NIGHT! While our group was waiting for our turn we were watching The Smurfs. When it was finally our turn we headed into the bush. Once we were inside all of us started singing The Smurfs theme song. When we were in the middle of the song someone hopped out of the bush and scared us! Well me Georgie and Elys were not scared. It was kind of funny.

Dear Diary,
Today is FINALLY the day we get to see our parents after a whole week! I missed them heaps! I will also miss Camp Hunua and staying in a cabin with my three nice friends Amily, Ji-woo and Elys. Today was basically just pack up day after fitness our cabin got started on our packing. By the time it was breakfast we were nearly done. The highlight for this week will most probably be Kayaking. I liked it because well, I like the water, nature and like I said before being in the fresh air ALL DAY LONG! I just felt really sad to leave all this great adventure behind. It was definitely the BEST experience of my life!
